Question
My male and female rabbits are starting to fight and I don't know why they are they were fine when I fist got them months ago and now they are starting to fight I wonting to know if you can help me because they are starting to really hurt each other and I'm scared for them please help me?   -Thank You

Answer
Hello Amanda, thanks for taking the time to ask me your question.

Firstly is the male neutered and the female spayed?

If not then its almost certain that your rabbits are fighting because the female is pregnant.

You will need to split them both up to prevent them doing real harm to each other, and also get another hutch to put the babies in when they leave mum.

Dad needs to be neutered and kept away from mum for 8 weeks after his operation

If you need any more help or advice please do come back and let me know how you are getting on.

Hope this helps
